I would just like to comment upon the fact that life is so not fair. We live in a world where Topher Grace gets to be Venom, one of the coolest comic book villains ever?

I think the end is neigh. Or nigh. Or close. Something like that.

I take it you're not a fan of That 70's Show?

At first I thought Toby (Tobey?) McGuire was a poor choice as well... but I gotta say that boy pumped up quite nicely in order to be more Spider-Man-like. Plus, he does make for a good Peter Parker. So I can see the compromise.

But I'm unwilling to budge on this Topher Grace phenomenon. It's just wrong.

I don't know the original Spider-Man story at all. Does Venom start out as a nerdy scientist who is then horribly mutated? Because I can totally see Topher Grace in any sort of dorky role. And then you just would just need a lot of costuming and padding to be Venom.

Venom is really a guy named Eddie Brock. In the comic book, he and Mary Jane and Peter Parker all when to the same college and he was competing with Peter Parker for Mary Jane's affection. If I remember correctly, Eddie was supposed to be a football jock. I would have thought someone like Ashton Kutcher or even that other blond guy from that 70's show would've made a better Venom than Topher Grace. Then again, stuff is different in movies than in comic books, so I don't know how they're going to add him into the story.
